A brig on fire was sent against part of the fleet, and afterwards a number of other brigs and three-masted ships advanced in full sail in flames, which were by the tide kept off some . time by the fleet, bpi at last they reached mrline. The first came close to the Regulus, and fell on board her starboard bide, while a second, also in flames; run on board the Ore" I had ordered the Cables to be slipt, to avoid complete destruction.

'The ecttectmia, Admiral I,Ard 6m,x,stett; has .ar 7 rived in Port, having - most successfully executed the service on which he was employed. It may not be improper to recal the attention 'of °or Readers to the extent of, the loss sustained by tine Enemy. The French Fleet, including the L'Orient and Bochefort . Squadrons, consisted of sixteen Sail of the Line. Of this force, one Ship of the Line was lOst, when the ;Enemy r 4 into Basque toads, four Sail of the Line were destroyed' in the attack, one Ship of the Line, the Regulus, which was on shore; has since One to pieces; two more Line-of-battle Ships,. the Foudroliant and the Ocean, have been ou shore ever since the anion, and it is suppoied can never be got off again :—making altogether -eight Sail of the Line destroyed, or render. ed unfit for service, and four'Frigates cowpletely_de. stroyed.—Four Sail have iucceeded in getting up the Charante, by throwing over-bOard their'gnns, ammu nition, Sze. and fOur Sail of the Line are supposed to have gene to the West'iudies. - With respect to the last mentioned Squadron, we have every reason to believe that they will.fall into our power. The Admiralty have made every possible arraogement to preveot their escape. -The Caledonia, on her. re turn, looked into Brest . Harbour,. in which there were not any Ships whatever. Two of ,the.three . .. deckers, which were in the Harbour lately, have been broken up to repair other Ships, and there is not timber enough now in the Dock-yards at )3rest to build a Frigate. The proceedings in the House of Commons last night . .were of a very extraordinary► nature. Mr. MtionocKs, instead of a Motion upon the genera) subjea of Parliamentary► Reform,, preferred, without any previitus notice, a dire& Charge of Corruption against two of his Majesty's Ministers. The Mo tion, however, was negatived without A diviiion; it is to be resumed on Thursday next.

About ten o'clock his M.saarrx left the Palace, - for Windsor, in his travelling carriage. Soon after twelve her MAJESTY, and the Princesses AVOUSTA, MART, and SOPHIA, with their attendants, followed bis MAJESTY. Yesterday a General Court Martial was held at Chelsea, on the Hon. Captain COCHRANE., on a charge preferred against him by General CLINTON, for improper conduel, in having quitted his post without orders, on the retreat of the British army to Corunna. General CLINToN and Colonel GaANT were heard in support of the charge. 'rhe evidence of the latter was decidedly in favour of Captain Cowtanwe, who will be heard in his defence this day. The Princess of WALES, with tome of her suite, and Lord COCHRANE, brother to the Officer under accusation, were present. Music.-... The Annual Concert for the benefit of Mr. HsnalsoN, took place last night in the Great Room at the King's Theatre.
